Three Kingdoms.

Chapter 3241 The north wind blows outside the city

 What should a person look like to be considered a person?

 What exactly should a big man look like?

Wang Meng’s head hurts.

 Because what he saw and heard violated his three views since childhood.

Wang Meng, who was hiding in the Emeiling refugee camp, felt as if he was about to be torn apart.

 He stared at the refugees lining up in the distance, feeling extremely conflicted in his heart.

 If he had a choice, he would rather not come here, but people like him often don't have much choice.

When he was young, he would listen to his elders, the elders in the clan, and the squires in the countryside saying that big men are rich, powerful, loyal and filial, and are given by heaven...

 So you must be loyal to the emperor, be patriotic, and make contributions to your clan.

 But when he grew up, he found that this was not the case.

Wang Meng had a deep-rooted idea before that he paid taxes to the Han Dynasty, so he was a real Han Chinese.

But he knew in his heart that most of the Han people were still very poor and were suppressed and beaten by the foreign Qiang and Hu people. The people at the top talked about loyalty and filial piety, but they were the ones who were the most unloyal and filial. As for God's gift...

The man's eyebrows suddenly stood up, and the flesh on his face began to twist ferociously, "Why?" 』

 But in the refugee camp, he saw many places that were different from those in Shandong.

Wang Meng nodded subconsciously, but at the next moment he didn't know why, but he seemed to say out of nowhere: "No, no!" not now! 』

 …

 Because he paid taxes, oral calculations, corvées, etc., he was different from those untouchables who could not even pay taxes.

 So those grasses are dead when they are dead, just like a piece of wood or a piece of grass.

 The squire is superior.

 In order to avoid trouble, he chose, like others, to say that the big man is rich, powerful, loyal and filial, and given by heaven...

Who would grieve over vegetation?

"ah? ” Wang Meng has not yet reacted.

Xun Chen and Zhang Xiu ate pretty ordinary preserved vegetables, including wheat rice, barbecued meat, a bowl of soup, and some fermented glutinous rice.

These…

The doctor glanced at him, and there seemed to be something different in his eyes, but he quickly turned his head, leaned against the wooden pillar, stretched out his legs, and exhaled, "Money?" Who told you that only money can cure you? 』

 The minister is aloof.

 …

But he couldn't tell about the differences he discovered, as it would be very troublesome if he did.

　　　　Well...isn’t that so? Isn't this the case for everyone? How can you treat a disease without charging money? Wang Meng was at a loss. Ever since he was a child, how could any doctor not charge money?

　　　Does Shennong charge money? ” The doctor sneered.

 Loyalty…

The man is gone.

　　　　Is it because Shen Nong tasted hundreds of herbs because he needed money? ” The doctor sneered, “Doctors only exist to treat people’s illnesses. They need money to treat illnesses, so why bother with money? Why are you doing harm to people? If you come for medical treatment for one dollar today, you will come for ten or one hundred dollars tomorrow. What about the day after tomorrow? 』

Therefore, when Wang Meng saw the suffering of these ordinary people in Shandong, he had no feeling at all, because he felt that the people who could not pay taxes were not in the same category as him.

 "God..." Wang Meng is stuck.

Especially because there are doctors treating refugees who have not paid!

　　　　Why...why do you want to save them? "Wang Meng couldn't help it. When he was helping the doctors treat the refugees, he took advantage of the gap and asked secretly, "I saved them... and I don't have any money..."

The doctor smiled, shook his head, and left.

Wang Meng swallowed his saliva and said, "Our follow-up troops haven't come up yet, so if we start now... wouldn't it be in vain?" 』

"Get ready, take action..." The person lowered his voice and repeated it again. Seeing that Wang Meng was still a little confused, he nudged Wang Meng with his elbow, "Did you hear that?" 』

 After a while, someone came to Wang Meng's side and whispered: "Get ready to take action." 』

　　　『If people eat grains, they will suffer from miscellaneous diseases. If they are treated with herbs, how can they make money? ” The doctor shook his legs, stood up, and patted the dust on his body, “The knight has a saying, there are four responsibilities for people’s livelihood, and the four responsibilities are to support the people. The cycle between procreation and nourishment is endless, which is the great road. If you go all out for money, where will your original intention remain? Besides, if you have more money, can you become an immortal? Hahaha…"

"But doctors also need to eat..." Wang Meng's head began to hurt again, "And these herbs, these...those...don't they all cost money?" 』

Isn’t he a fool, a pariah, a two-legged sheep who may not even be entitled to the title of human being?

 The aristocratic family is aloof.

Haven’t you noticed that there have been so many natural disasters in the Han Dynasty in the past few years?

It was either a flood, a drought, or an insect plague. If it was really a gift from heaven, does that mean that the "heaven" of the Han Dynasty was no longer "given"?

So he found that he could not listen to what others said, but also what others did!

 The Son of Heaven is high above.

　　　『We are all loyal and righteous people! do not forget! ” The visitor whispered, stood up, and lightly kicked Wang Meng with his foot.

Wang Meng nodded.

So who will be down there?

Wang Meng looked at the surrounding refugee camps.

 Mostly I use the grass and trees to grieve myself.

"Oh..." The man's face relaxed, "I didn't say I would move right away...get ready, do you understand?" Prepare! Don’t forget, the big man is loyal! Loyal man! You, me, and everyone else have all sworn an oath under the banner of the Han Dynasty! loyalty! understand? ! 』

Wang Meng still felt a headache. He seemed to understand, but he still didn't seem to understand.

 ‘Listen…I heard…’ Wang Meng replied.

Mai rice is made by ordinary cooks, just like most soldiers.

 BBQ is made by Xun Chen and Zhang Xiu, as well as other civil servants and military academies. Each person has a piece of barbecue, which is as thick as a finger and as wide as a palm.

的 的 is a private hidden, and Zhang Xiu some.

 Xun Chen still pays attention to his demeanor when eating.

 Put the barbecue far away, place the sauce, vinegar and other condiments closer, put the rice on the left side in front of you, and the soup on the right side in front of you.

By the time Xun Chen arranged the food on the plate, Zhang Xiu had already finished eating it.

Zhang Xiu mixed all the food into a big bowl, stirred it up, and slurped and smacked his lips.

But what is very strange is that Xun Chen will not accuse Zhang Xiu of being rude when eating, and Zhang Xiu will not laugh at Xun Chen for being so picky.

Two people sit together to eat, each eating his own food. There seems to be some connection, but it also seems to have no connection at all.

Zhang Xiu finished the meal first, picked up the soup and ate the solid food in the soup first, then gargled his mouth with the soup, finally swallowed it and wiped his mouth, "I guess these **** can't help it." Already...』

In the past two days, through admission and diversion, a large number of refugees from the Yuncheng Basin have been absorbed, transformed and resettled.

 But the speed is not as fast as expected.

 There was still some chaos at first, but as the people gradually settled down and began to subdivide and transform according to their respective regions, it was like the foam on the water surface began to dissipate, and things under the water gradually emerged.

Although it is difficult to clearly count the people in Hedong, whether it is Dahan or Feiqian, in terms of household registration, one thing is very obvious, that is, normal people tend to gather together...

Of course there are some who get separated occasionally, but most of the people will still stick to each other according to the previous village.

 This is almost a human instinct, and there will naturally be other reasons for violating this instinct.

Therefore, after the successive shunting of refugees, some people who continued to be unwilling to be shunted and stayed in refugee shacks under various excuses were naturally exposed.

As the emotions of the refugees are gradually stabilized and diverted, of course, the time left for these people is getting less and less...

Xun Chen just nodded and said nothing.

 He is still chewing food.

According to his health-preserving habits, he chews at least eight times every bite of food, even if the food is very broken.

 And Xun Chen couldn't speak until he finished eating. So Zhang Xiu didn't want Xun Chen to answer, so he continued: "I have arranged for people to stay behind... Do you want to go to the back first..."

Xun Chen shook his head.

"Fine. Zhang Xiuba smacked his lips and said, "I'll send you some guards!" 』

Xun Chen thought for a moment, nodded, and ate the last bit of rice in the rice bowl.

　　『These bastards...haha! Zhang Xiu grinned, "Do you really think we don't know anything?" Do you think we won't catch them?　　　　　Just like a teacher on the podium, when you look down, you can actually see clearly what each student is doing, whether they are distracted, or playing secretly, but sometimes they are too lazy to care. Or maybe it's just not worth stopping and wasting other students' time.

For the Hussars, who already had a lot of experience in resettling refugees, these spies of Cao's army mixed among the refugees were actually very obvious.

Say some inappropriate words and make some awkward actions...

 The main issue is time.

 Zhang Xiu seemed more optimistic.

But Xun Chen had a headache because the speed had not increased, and as Cao Jun's soldiers approached, the flow of refugees became more and more urgent.

 You can't act recklessly even if you are in a hurry...

"Hey! Zhang Xiu suddenly smiled and said, "Someone reported today that they suspected that they were spies of Cao Jun who came to ask our doctors why they don't charge money to treat the people... Hahaha... It's really interesting..."

Xun Chen’s hand holding the soup bowl paused for a moment, and then he drank the soup faster. After a while, he put the bowl down and said, "Hmm... This person is suspicious... But, maybe not..."

"oh? Why? ” asked Zhang Xiu.

Xun Chen wiped his mouth with a handkerchief, and then asked someone to take away the tableware. "Doctors were like this before... My lord has changed a lot... So this person may also be an old man from Hedong... You can't use this as a basis... Let's continue to see." Besides, if he is really a spy, he will be exposed sooner or later. 』

 Catch is very simple, but actually very stupid.

Because Xun Chen and the others worked hard to establish a good image and a friendly attitude in front of the refugees, but in the blink of an eye they were arrested and killed...

 Trust is difficult to build, but easy to destroy.

 In the eyes of Xun Chen and others, these Cao Jun spies may be obvious, but in the eyes of the refugees, most of them will feel that they are as weak as them. Sympathy for the weak and aversion to violence is an instinct of human nature. Xun Chen does not allow reckless behavior to destroy the trust that has been built with great difficulty, so he would rather be slower and more steady.

 But this contradicts Cao Jun’s urgency...

 This is often the case with things in the world. It is extremely difficult to choose between the right and the left.

Although Zhang Xiu didn't quite understand, he still nodded, "Okay." 』

Xun Chen nodded, "The forward troops of Cao's army are approaching the bottom of the slope... General Zhang, just don't move. If you start to move... speed is the key." 』

 Zhang Xiu cupped his hands and said, "Follow the order!" 』

 …

 …

 In Chang'an.

Wei Mansion has been a bit lively these days.

 It was an atmosphere that had been absent for a long time, making everyone in the Wei family feel proud.

 In many cases, opposition parties also have certain political privileges.

Now Wei Duan puts on the face of asking for orders and speaking out for the people, and also uses the name of supervising corruption and strictly investigating malfeasance, making it seem a bit like the nameless crown of later generations, wearing it on his head It was so shiny that it frightened many people.

These days, Wei Duan was very busy, attending to errands and receiving guests, and was almost so busy that he almost forgot his last name.

I don’t know how many groups of guests I met, how many future benefits I promised, how many painted cakes I sent out. After sending away the last group of guests with a smile, I rubbed my cheeks and returned to the hall, sat down, alas. He rubbed his old waist sadly.

The steward who was waiting on the side quickly asked someone to bring some drinks and instructed the maid to knead Wei Duan's back and waist.

　　　　How is the store...? Wei Duan asked in a low voice.

 The steward whispered, "Business has improved a lot..."

Wei Duan smiled, nodded, reached out to take the soup bowl, took a sip, and frowned, "Let me change the recipe, don't use this warm tonic... It's better to use something cool, these two days I get angry from work and my teeth hurt..."

The steward hurriedly responded, but was a little hesitant.

"Um? ” Wei Duan was stunned for a moment, and then he understood, “It doesn’t matter, it doesn’t matter… Baiyi Clinic…hehe, hum…”

The main direction of Wei Duan's public attack these days is the Hundred Medical Clinic.

 So it’s a bit embarrassing now for Manager Webster to go to the people from Baiyi Medical Center.

 Medical resources were in very short supply during the feudal dynasty.

  Of course, limitations of socioeconomic conditions are an important factor in medical development. The level of economic development in the feudal era was relatively low, and most of the population lived in poverty and material scarcity. In such a social background, medical resources often cannot be fully invested and allocated. Medical facilities are poor, medicines are scarce, and the number of doctors is limited, making it difficult for many people to receive timely and effective medical treatment.

These are objective conditions, but the most serious problem is that in the feudal dynasty, the political system also had an impact on the allocation of medical resources. In feudal society, political power was often concentrated in the hands of a few people, who controlled a large amount of resources and wealth. Therefore, medical resources are often subject to intervention and manipulation by political power. As a result, medical resources cannot be distributed equitably to everyone, but rather serve the ruling class and the privileged class, making it difficult for ordinary people to enjoy their services.

Because the war in Tongguan has been tense for a period of time, the doctors from the Baiyi Hospital were transferred to Tongguan, and the doctors who stayed in Chang'an were also responsible for the emergency treatment of the seriously injured people who were transferred there. This led to the situation in Chang'an on the one hand. It is relatively more difficult for others among them to see a doctor. On the other hand, because the seriously injured patients who are transported are also in a very dangerous state, the cure rate naturally drops greatly. Even if many seriously injured patients make it to Chang'an Medical Center, He may not be able to survive the surgery.

Especially for septicemia and visceral failure caused by inflammation of wounds, there is almost no cure.

Even Hua Tuo was powerless.

Hua Tuo was good at rescuing people in emergencies. He was already very powerful if he could **** one or two out of ten people from the hands of death.

Taicang Ying and others also reduced the treatment of general illnesses and focused on serious and acute illnesses.

 All this was originally a normal thing.

  But the same thing, if described from different angles, it will be a different story...

 Why can only one or two of ten wounded soldiers survive?

 Why did the other eight or nine die?

Hua Tuo, as well as the doctors in the Hundred Medical Hall, aren't they all called miracle doctors?

 Have Taicang Ying and others tried their best?

If you tried your best, why did so many wounded soldiers die?

 Do those soldiers who fought bravely deserve to die?

Why did the ordinary people in Chang'an reduce the number of medical visits?

Are the doctors at the Hundred Medical Centers slacking off in their work?

 Is the Hundred Medical Center deliberately sabotaging the great cause of Hussar?

The soldiers on the front line are working desperately, why can the doctors of Baiyi Medical Center still "eat well, sleep well and dress up well"?

Wei Duan shouted to think rationally, but he pointed to letting the doctors of Baiyi Clinic find the reasons in themselves...

  He connected those unreliable You Fang doctors from a few years ago, even decades ago, or hundreds of years ago, with the current doctors of Baiyi Hall, saying that those Youfang doctors have been reborn in Baiyi Hall again!

 In order to avoid more serious damage to the great cause of the Hussars, for the happiness and health of the people of Chang'an, and for the lives of those brave soldiers and soldiers, shouldn't the doctors of the Hundred Medical Halls be carefully audited?

Is this the correct procedure?

 As an opposition party and as a public activist, do you have the right to speak out?

Regarding the various "illnesses" of the Hundred Medical Center, Webster said it was "duty" to bring salt to the wounded soldiers who died.

Furthermore, Wei Duan also stated openly that in order to avoid suspicion, he would not participate in the review of the Baiyi Medical Center. He could recommend a third party to conduct the review, such as some "academic greats", "medical families", etc...

  For a political system, correct procedures and correct moral reasoning are both very important, but they may have different weights in different situations. In some cases, correct procedures and correct moral reasons may be consistent, that is, following the procedures also meets the requirements of moral reasons. However, in some complex or special situations, the two may conflict.

 Although most of the time, when people encounter a dilemma between correct procedures and correct moral principles, they often choose moral principles in words, but in practice, they choose correct procedures in action.

  After all, the correct procedure is objective and clear, so it has become the choice of more people.

Just like this incident at the Hundred Medical Center, many officials knew that morally speaking, there was no problem with the Hundred Medical Center. However, when Wei Duan flaunted the banner of "correct procedures", no one might be willing to stand up. , especially after Pang Tong and Fei Zhen left Chang'an, following the procedures became a natural choice.

So the storm was stirred up...

Wei Kang came back a little drunk. When he saw Wei Duan glaring at him in the hall, he quickly calmed down his drunkenness and went forward to pay his respects. In the past few days, Wei Kang's situation has bottomed out. People who he didn't know before came to him and called him brother respectfully, which made Wei Kang feel a little dizzy.

　　　Where did you go again? Wei Duan frowned and asked, "Zui Xian Tower?" 』

Wei Kang burped and said, "It's hard to refuse such kindness..."

Wei Duan stared at Wei Kang, "Did you say anything?" 』

Wei Kang shook his head repeatedly, "The child just said "justice"!" 』

　　　Exactly! Justice, justice! Still fair! Wei Duan nodded and said in a deep voice, "In these critical times, the only thing we can do is be fair and upright!" 』

After all, Wei Duan has been punished several times, so he has learned the lessons from before. No matter what he does, he always uses the "husband's great cause" as a guise, under the banner of "serving the public wholeheartedly", and shouts "justice" The slogan "Fairness"...

Wei Kang nodded and laughed, "Father taught you right!" Only justice! Seeking justice! 』

Wei Duan also smiled and said, "The Husband's great work has not yet been completed, and there are many injustices in the world. Those of us who are scholars, who understand the principles of loyalty, filial piety, benevolence and righteousness, should find justice for the people of the world!" 』

 The two looked at each other and laughed so hard that their whole bodies trembled.

 Suddenly, a servant hurriedly rushed to the courtyard corridor, "It's not good...Old man!" Bai, something happened at Bai Medical Clinic...』

"oh? What happened? "Wei Duan didn't care much, because the Hundred Medical Center was the original target of attack, so it was nothing surprising if something happened.

“Zheng…Zheng…Zheng…” The servant’s teeth were chattering, and he was having trouble even speaking.

Wei Duan was a little impatient at first, but after a while he stood up suddenly, his body shaking a little, "Ah!" broken! 』
